In 2011, the Brewers will be holding a “Rising Stars” Game at Miller Park. It will be held on Saturday, April 2 at 3:10pm. Here is a link to the flyer on the Brewers website. Tickets are $10 and will be on sale starting January 21 at 10am.

Time Warner Cable Sports32 will televise the Rising Stars Game, which is presented by West Bend, the Silver Lining. Triple-A Nashville manager Don Money and Class A Wisconsin manager Matt Erickson will each lead a team — Blue vs. Gold.

The Brewers are making it an interactive event. Prospects will take part in an autograph session during batting practice, and some winning fans will get to sit in the dugout with the teams during various innings of the game. Kids 16 and under will be able to run the bases afterward.

Each team will wear custom designed jerseys. Following the game, the players will autograph their game jersey for a raffle, with all proceeds benefitting the Brewers Community Foundation.

The roster was not announced, but unofficially, the following are scheduled to appear: Kyle Heckathorn, Kentrail Davis, Hunter Morris, Scooter Gennett, Cody Scarpetta, and Erik Komatsu.

I am hoping to be down there to serve in one capacity or another…or, who knows, maybe just kick back and watch the…no I can’t even finish that sentence.
